i tried it but sometimes vlc appears but stream does not load, sometimes stream loads but no epg ( it says "no available") But the thing i really want to say is that to me your new procedure is too risky because the .bat forces to zap channels ( wget -q -O - http://xx.xx.xx.xx/web/zap?sRef=[your stream])

I know that this is necessary in order to understand the right resolution of the channel (taken using this string: "wget -q -O - http://xx.xx.xx.xx/web/about ") to create the right amount of spaces between EVENT and INFO (correct me if i'm wrong)

It's too risky because if the owner is watching , he can surely see that somebody is changing channel so high chances that he locks or kills the ip !

Notice: compared to marq-marquee, the big advantage of meta-title is that it is not affected by screen resolution changes. This allows to put a never changing maximum number of space characters between %EPG% and %INFO%. And obviously, this also allows to avoid zapstream, box general info, screen size analysis subroutines etc. that complicate things too much.

If you don't have powershell (search in C:\Windows\System32 and check if you have a "WindowsPowerShell" folder) download it. Just search "Windows PowerShell 2.0 and WinRM 2.0" for your operating system. It allows to extract the first line from a text file.

b) Open notepad, copy the following script (the last made by bingobongo with some changes i've made) and save it as a .bat file inside "test1" folder:

Notice: http://xx.xxx.xxx.xx is the ip address of the webcontrol page you have; [stream] is the channel id: for example if you want to watch s*y sp*orts 1 uk you have to substitute [stream] with 1:0:1:1076:7E5:2:11A0000:0:0:0:

When you see

Quote

call "C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"

and

Quote

call "C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC\vlc.exe"

you have to write inside "" your actual path of powershell and vlc to make it work ! (generally if you have installed them without changing default folder, you don't have to do any change !)

One more thing: few posts ago i talked about an issue with epg in simple tv. I've solved it and the cause was a proxy server that was set in internet explorer ! (very strange!!!) Once disabled, epg info were displayed with no problem.

Apart from the missing alignment of event and info, the ampersand & is written in a "strange" way because on windows batch you need the escape character to print it correctly. I can easily fix this issue.

I have introduced the option "not available" when the epg is missing from the Enigma 2 web interface source. Therefore, I do not consider this one as an issue depending on the script. The script displays only the info found on Enigma 2 web interface. When Enigma 2 epg info are missing, instead of showing a blank space (which would be even worse to see), the script will say: "not available". Also notice that "not available" appears when the script can't take the info from a mistyped stream address (in that case, you need to re-insert the stream address correctly and run the script again).
